UAB Studies Perceptions Of Coronavirus In Minority Communities
UAB recently released a study on the perceptions of coronavirus in Alabama's minority communities.

I am a lifelong Alabama resident with more than two decades of media under my belt. I have worked for a daily newspaper, a weekly newspaper, a monthly magazine, a television station and a couple of radio stations. I also tried my hand at marketing for a little while. But I love writing news. This opportunity to bring Patch to Birmingham is a chance for my hometown to benefit from a new - and better - way to read and receive news. You can contact me at michael.seale@patch.com., and follow me on Twitter @mpseale.
